"Jesus Heard You ...."
Jesus heard when you prayed last night. He talked with God about you.
Jesus was there when you fought your fight, He is going to bring you through.
Jesus knew when you shed those tears, you did not weep alone.
The burdens you thought too heavy to bear, He made them His very own.
Jesus Himself was touched by that trial, you could not understand.
Jesus stood by as you almost fell and lovingly clasped your hand.
Jesus cared when you bore that pain, indeed, He bore it too.
He felt each pain, each ache in your heart, because ofHis love for you.
Jesus, your Saviour, will always be with you, no need to be anxious or fret.
Wonderful love, He will be there all the time, He has never forsaken you yet.
